Team8 People For
Tactical Mental Performance Consultants:
Where Stakes Matter Most
Enhance your mental performance consulting practice with behavioral and Emotional Intelligence assessments purpose-built for the environments where performance under pressure defines outcomes. TacticalDISC, EI 360, and the full Team8 People range, delivered with wholesale consultant pricing and cross-context flexibility. Mental performance consulting has always extended beyond elite sport. The same principles that shape athletic performance apply directly — often more consequentially — to tactical operators, defence personnel, emergency responders, and high-stakes professional performers. Where a moment of behavioral awareness can shape mission outcomes, unit cohesion under fire, or recovery from cumulative operational load. Team8 People's TacticalDISC and full assessment range give tactical MPCs the purpose-built behavioral toolkit for consulting where stakes matter most.
Who this is for
Mental Performance Consultants (MPCs) working with defence forces, emergency services, tactical response teams, elite operators, and high-stakes performance contexts. Whether you’ve moved into tactical work from sport, or built your practice around tactical from the start — Team8 People fits how MPCs actually work in these environments.
1
MPCs Working Primarily in Tactical
& Defence
Mental performance consultants who have built their practice around defence, emergency services, tactical operators, or high-stakes operational contexts.

Sport MPCs Extending into Tactical Work
Sport-trained MPCs and Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPCs) whose practice has extended into consulting with tactical environments alongside their athletic client work. Performance parallels between elite sport and tactical operations allow for cross-context application.
3
MPCs in High-Stakes Contexts
MPCs consulting with high-stakes professional performers: emergency response, surgeons and medical teams, and executive command teams navigating crisis, first responder command staff, and other contexts where performance under pressure has consequential outcomes.

Why Tactical MPCs Choose Team8 People
Purpose-built for high-stakes contexts, not adapted from sport or workplace.
TacticalDISC and Team8 People’s applied methodology for tactical work were built for high-stakes operational environments — the language operators use, the strategies for behavior under pressure, and the applied approach for defence, emergency services, and other consequential contexts. Not sport tools rebranded, not workplace tools adapted.
Cross-context range under one accreditation.
For MPCs with mixed practices — sport clients, tactical clients, corporate high-performance clients, or occasional academic or health engagements — one accreditation covers the full DISC range. No need to hold multiple provider certifications across contexts.
Wholesale consultant pricing, not per-report royalties.
Every Team8 People assessment is available to accredited MPCs at wholesale rates — allowing you to price assessment into your consulting engagements without margin pressure. The commercial framework is designed for sustainable MPC practice, not per-transaction extraction.
Spaced-over-time and individualized approach to accreditation.
You wouldn’t design a tactical consulting engagement as a single two-day intensive, so we don’t structure our accreditation that way either. DISC Accreditation is delivered spaced over time, structured around your consulting schedule, using the assessments with real clients during the training, and ongoing mentoring well beyond when the formal training ends.
Partnership, not transactional.
We genuinely value our relationship with our MPC partners and believe our success lies in the success of your practice. Which is why we’ll never surprise you with hidden fees or paywalls to access resources.
- No annual reaccreditation, licensing, or hidden administration fees.
- No paywall between you and the facilitation resources you need to actually use the assessments effectively.
- No additional costs for supporting capabilities like team dynamic reporting or the DISC AI Coach.
Once accredited, the only things you’ll pay for are the individual assessments you need, at your exclusive wholesale pricing. Everything else is included as part of our service and support.
Applied cross-sector experience where stakes matter most.
Team8 People was founded by Bo Hanson — four-time Olympic representative for Australia — who has spent three decades applying behavioral development across elite sport, defence, emergency services, and corporate high-performance environments worldwide. Cross-sector experience where stakes matter most sits at the center of every assessment we deliver.

Beyond DISC — build the tactical MPC consulting toolkit.
TacticalDISC is where most tactical MPCs start with Team8 People. Sequence into the EI 360 for wellbeing and command leadership work, layer the Team8 Leadership 360 for advanced officer and command development, and extend into program design consultation for larger defence or emergency services engagements. All under one accreditation, at wholesale pricing across the range.
For tactical MPCs with cross-context practices spanning sport, corporate high-performance, or education, the same accreditation gives you access to the full Team8 People range — one behavioral framework, one commercial model, adapted for every high-stakes context you serve.
One accreditation. Six DISC variants. Four 360 reviews. One EI 360. The complete behavioral toolkit for tactical MPCs. No per-report royalties. No annual reaccreditation. No gated resources.
Hear from a Mental Performance Consultant using Team8 People
“Team8’s TacticalDISC Profiles have become an incredibly valuable part of our leadership development work with public safety professionals. What makes TacticalDISC so powerful is that it moves the conversation beyond simply identifying a personality style and creates genuine self-awareness.
For us, the value of TacticalDISC isn’t simply the profile itself. It is what we are able to help people do with that knowledge. When a leader can recognize their own tendencies, understand the people around them, and intentionally adjust their behavior to strengthen the team, that is where meaningful leadership development begins.”

Quick FAQs
How is this different from sport MPC work?
The TacticalDISC is purpose-built for tactical, defence, and high-stakes operational contexts — with language, examples, and applied strategies designed for those environments rather than adapted from sport. For MPCs whose practice spans sport and tactical, the same accreditation gives you access to both the tactical and sport DISC ranges, enabling one consulting framework across both contexts.
Can I use TacticalDISC alongside AthleteDISC in a mixed practice?
Yes. Once you're DISC Accredited, you access the full DISC range — TacticalDISC for tactical clients, AthleteDISC and CoachDISC for sport clients, Team8 DISC for corporate high-performance clients — all under one accreditation at wholesale consultant pricing.
What's wholesale consultant pricing?
Accredited consultants access all Team8 People DISC Profiles and 360 tools at wholesale rates — allowing you to price assessment into your client engagements without margin pressure. Specific rates available on request or as part of accreditation onboarding.
Do I need existing tactical or defence consulting experience?
No formal prerequisite is required. DISC Accreditation is designed for MPCs at any stage of their tactical practice — whether you're built entirely around tactical work, extending from sport into tactical, or consulting across mixed high-stakes contexts. Applied MPC experience is the primary qualifier.
How does this fit with existing CMPC or sport psychology credentials?
Team8 People's DISC Accreditation is complementary to CMPC certification, sport psychology qualifications, or other applied MPC credentials. Many tactical MPCs hold sport-focused credentials alongside their tactical practice. DISC Accreditation adds the applied behavioral toolkit for the tactical work rather than replacing your existing qualifications.
How is the DISC AI Coach positioned for MPC consulting?
The DISC AI Coach is a practitioner tool for MPCs with account administrator access — used to contextualize individual or group operator results, prepare for team debriefs, and think through applied consulting scenarios. Individual operators or personnel receive their DISC reports rather than direct AI Coach access; the AI Coach supports you as the practitioner.
Can I use these tools with corporate high-performance clients too?
Yes. The same accreditation includes access to Team8 DISC for corporate clients — executive command teams, trading floor teams, medical teams under operational pressure, or professional performers in business contexts. One framework, cross-context range.
